I know that this is unlikely, but since you are considering (I think) on eventually showing Mira's background for the Finders Keepers AU... Will there be a chance that you could consider doing a What If alternate version of the AU? Like, what if Rumi really did like Sae-hee back and Sae-hee actually stayed with Rumi and Zoey?
The three of them are still together and stronger than ever after the Richard incident. Raising Myungsoo and everything as a family. Their "obstacle" now is possibly including Mira into their relationship. I personally imagine Sae-hee and Rumi being cautious/protective of Zoey after the Richard incident, and it doesn't help that Mira not only recruits Zoey as a model but she also has money/influence/connections like Richard did. Rumi's and Sae-hee's fears go away over time after they spend genuine time getting to know Mira for who she is
Mira would not mind Rumi's and Sae-hee's attitudes in the beginning. She'll probably brush it off and tell Zoey along the lines of "It's okay. I'm usually not well liked on first impressions." But Zoey disagrees, especially since Myungsoo takes a liking to Mira. And idk, maybe things can just go from there. I just want pure fluff and a happy alternative route for these goobers π₯Ί
I am sure that your Fk AU will end on a good note, but I still like to dream a little with this What If alternative. Sae-hee really grew on me as a character, more so when they developed a crush on Rumi (I'm a truther. Ngl). I enjoyed the Past Arc a bunch, but man there is so much angst/drama. I love it! But yeah, this ramble is just something to ponder if anything
Looking forward to the Present arc on Rumi's side of things! Keep up the good work, Prince! π€
it would certainly have been a cute thought! though with the unexplored levels with sae-hee, i feel there may have been future, not richard related conflicts
